A joint educational project between
The Department of Anesthesiology, University of Nebraska Medical Center
Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine Simulation Lab
Department of Anesthesiology, The University of Texas Medical School at Houston
Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC)
Modules (Basic):
Basic Review of Endotracheal Intubation for Providers at a Mass
Casualty (module 1)
Dr. Ben Boedeker, Dr. Bosseau Murray
Airway management is at the core of care for the injured patient
during a mass casualty event. The review is intended to provide a basic overview
of orotracheal intubation to support mass casualty airway care. This review is tailored for
perioperative care of such patients.
Supraglottic Airway Management (under development) (module 2)
Dr. Ben Boedeker
Modules (Advanced):
Complications of Managing the Airway (module 3)
Dr. Carin Hagberg, Dr. Rainer Georgi, Dr. Claude Krier
The inability to secure the airway, with
consequent failure of oxygenation and ventilation, is a
life threatening complication. To minimize injury to the
patient, the anesthesiologist should examine the patient’s
airway carefully, identify any potential problems, devise a plan
that involves the least risk for injury, and have a back-up plan
immediately available.
